Make My Deo, by American Ideal out of Electric Fool, is a half-brother to Rodeo Rock, who has earned more than $700,000 in his career for Royal Wire Products. The family also includes millionaire Western Shore. The colt was consigned by Preferred Equine Marketing and bred by Deo Volente Farms.

“He’s a nice horse,” Peshina said about Make My Deo. “We bought Rodeo Rock as a yearling too and he’s done just fine for us. This is a very nice colt, so we were happy to get him. I liked just about everything about him; he’s just a nice horse all around. And it’s a good farm we bought him from, they’re good people.

“It’s a big expense for us, we’ve never gone that high before. We’re going to see what happens. Hopefully it works out. We’ll find out next year.”

Second on the bestsellers list was trotting colt Delayed Hanover, by Southwind Frank out of Don’t Wait Up, who was purchased for $230,000 by Ake Svanstedt for owner Melby Gard.

He was consigned and bred by Hanover Shoe Farms.

“I liked everything, it was good,” Svanstedt said. “He is a good-looking horse. It will be interesting to see how he does on the racetrack. He has good conformation and the family on the mother is also very good. He is a good colt.”

Next was trotting colt Ghetto Boy, by Cantab Hall out of Galloway, who went for $200,000 to agent Robert Lindstrom. His family includes Dan Patch Award-winner Maven. The colt was consigned by Concord Stud Farm and bred by Order By Stable.
